Just as a suggestion/thought ... *if* you have the resources (or someone
else wants to step up to it), why not setup the bug tracker, work with the
-www guys on having the 'bug submission' stuff feed into it, and get a
liason in place between it and -hackers?  put the structure into place,
get ppl used to submitting/using it, and over time, it might be easier to
get the developers themselves to use it vs having a middle man?

There may be some developers that will go over relatively easily *once*
its in place, and others that stay resistent to it for awhile ...
